personal preference I guess. Most shifter installs are basically the same. I will warn you that there is a little rubber bushing/cup on the end of the shifter ball. So if you take the old one out and don't see it in the trans then look at the end of the old shifter and it is probably on there. some people ignore that and have more play in there short throw shifter which kind of missing the point. I have driven many stangs with 5.0 shifter and loved all of them. I like the design of the MGW but never driven one. good luck
Pretty hard to mess it up. Simply remove the four bolts holding the shifter base to the trans, and pull it up (after removing the shifter bezel/boot). As someone else said, beware of the little plastic cup the end of the shifer mechanism sits in; don't lose it. Get some rtv to seal the new shifter base to the tranny. Nothing too difficult. I've owned both the pro 5.0 and steeda short shifters; both are basically the same, and I love both.
Yep.
I agree with JT. Very easy.
I just installed an MGW in my Cobra. Click on page 3 of my page to see the install.
I recommend a Cobrabob shifter gasket to anyone who is installing a shifter. Very nice.
The MGW was very nice as well!

I did mine a few weeks ago. During dissassembly of the console, I discoverd that a previous owner broke off one of the 4 console bolts (at the back of the console) so I couldn't remove it. I installed my Steeda with the console still in place. It took a little longer but I did it.
You can't screw it up....
